Good Lord, what a book. This is one book I hated to see end. If you like historical fiction and a fast plot, then it’s a must read. The book is stuffed full of true history and written in the style of the times. Masterful writing, i can’t imagine how it was even researched. People forget about John Brown, he’s just a footnote to most. But after reading this book, and thinking about African American history, the truth rings through. I’m tempted to reread it right away.

Racist lies. John Brown was not a crazy ‘race traitor’, but a sensible man who believed in racial equality. This books is grossly misleading and insulting to his memory.

Want to read. But why can’t I purchase it with the real cover?

The Good Lord Bird. Excellent read

Great Read!. This book was fascinating! The beginning was a bit slow but as the story developed it got more and more interesting. The social commentary on race, gender, and religion is quite relevant today. It also highlights the white male privilege and the complexities of ally ship.

hey. Hey

Rooting for Old John Brown. So much hope for humanity wrapped up in this lovely story. Written in such a way that it’s impossible not to root for Old John Brown, even though history tells of his ending. Loved how Onion felt like a coward but was, indeed, a hero.

The Good Lord Bird. I have read many many books in my 68 years and I can honestly state that The Good Lord Bird uplifted me so very much that I paused for a minute or so and read it again. I believe that every person who has some unfounded resentment toward his fellow person white or of color should read this work so they may find understanding and peace.

Good Lord Bird. Good Lord Bird is an exceptional novel. The characters come to life and stay with you when you're away from the book. You think about Onion and Old John Brown, and Frederick and the others as you go about your day; anxious to get back to McBride's extraordinary writing. This is a story you won't want to end. It is triumphant throughout and entirely humorous.

Spellbinding Accomplishment. I think mcBride's novel has become one of my top ten novels. This is a history story that comes to life. The characters are unique and well defined. The pacing is perfect, suspenseful, and gripping. I had a hard time putting it down. Perhaps the author would consider a second novel about what happens to "Little Onion" in the years after the fateful event!
